in retrospect Mother's Milk was essentially a new band warming up by capping off their old sound. they even beg for it on Punk Rock Classic. this album is just too fast to have the broader appeal that BSSM has.

Mostly it might be considered their best and/or be my favorite if it had some better production. I'm not saying it would have sounded anything like it.
And yeah, I love the songwriting on
Mother's Milk but I can't really stand the production/guitar tone. That's not to say I don't love listening to
Mother's Milk, but songs like 'Good Time Boys' and 'Stone Cold Bush' just sound awkward...
